Restful, welcoming and rejuvenating
Pros:

The property sat on the a beautiful canal strip with beautiful views and was walking distance to the heart of Amsterdam. The protest was decorated in a quirky style. Loved the books and vinyl records. Really loved the decor

Cons:

Not for those with any mobility issues or ailments as the steps to some of the rooms are quite steep.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and could speak English. The hotel was very pretty and quaint.
Pros:

Quaint and friendly and very Dutch. In a beautiful part of town but away from the busy city center but close enough to walk.

Cons:

The fan was very noisy so we couldn’t use it so the room was very hot. Not a lot of breakfast choice.

The room was just ok but I cannot recommend this place because it is unsafe in multiple ways!
Pros:

The staff was marvelous

Cons:

We were on the top floor with 3 stories of treacherous stairs and no emergency fire exit except to fight the fire with a fire extinguisher down three flights of treacherous steps. Ahhhh….no thanks!
